Kolibri Series 2288 Liner Brush – Precision for Fine Lines and Details
The Kolibri Series 2288 Liner Brush is designed for artists who need excellent control, precision and smooth paint flow when creating fine lines and intricate details. Its long, round and pointed shape makes it an excellent choice for detailed painting, decorative work, lettering, fine outlines and delicate artistic elements.
The brush combines selected natural hairs to provide a good balance between paint-holding capacity, flexibility and precision. The inner hairs are made from pure red sable, valued for their softness, elasticity and ability to form a fine point. The outer squirrel hairs help the brush hold and release paint smoothly, supporting continuous and controlled strokes.
Natural Hair Combination
The Series 2288 features a carefully selected combination of natural hairs:
- Inner hairs: Pure red sable – provide softness, flexibility and excellent spring, helping the brush maintain a precise point.
- Outer hairs: Squirrel – provide good paint absorption and help deliver a smooth and consistent flow of colour.
This combination makes the brush particularly suitable for work where both precision and a controlled paint release are important.
Long, Pointed Shape for Precise Work
The long, round and pointed brush shape allows you to create delicate lines while maintaining good control over the stroke. It is suitable for fine details, outlines, ornaments, decorative elements, illustrations and other precision work.
The brush can be used with a variety of painting techniques and is suitable for watercolour, acrylic and oil paints, depending on the artist's preferred technique and paint consistency.
Comfortable and Elegant Design
The Series 2288 features a short, glossy dark blue handle that is comfortable to hold and gives the brush a professional appearance. The silver ferrule securely holds the natural hairs in place and contributes to the overall durability of the brush.
The short handle is particularly convenient for close-up and detailed work where precise hand control is important.

Care and Maintenance
Before the first use, gently wash the brush in lukewarm water to remove the natural gum arabic used to protect and hold the hairs in shape during storage and transport.
After painting, rinse the brush thoroughly with lukewarm water and remove all remaining paint before it dries. When working with acrylic paint, clean the brush promptly, as dried acrylic can permanently damage natural hairs.
For regular maintenance, a suitable natural brush soap can help keep the hairs clean, flexible and in good condition.
Do not dry the brush on a radiator or in direct sunlight, as excessive heat can damage natural hairs. Allow the brush to dry naturally and, where possible, keep the hairs pointing downwards while drying.
With proper care and regular cleaning, the Kolibri Series 2288 can remain a reliable tool for detailed painting for a long time.
